How can I intro play / auto-skip songs after a set amount of play time?

I'm using iTunes on Windows 7 and I'm curious if there's a way, using iTunes itself or with a plug-in, to just intro play through my playlists. By this I mean, play only the first 30 seconds or so of each song before skipping to the next track.
Any help greatly appreciated.

well, that's no fun...

  • Ipod attempts to play but skips song after song

    I'm pretty sure its a 5th gen. ipod. A song title appears and it says for the time 0.00, waits 15-30 seconds, and then skips to the next song. It is as if the iPod tries to play the song, but can't figure out how to do so. It continues to do this and maybe every 10th song plays fine. I've restored it and rebooted it.
    Has anyone had this problem and is there something else I can do to get it working correctly?

  • How can i stop iPhone from skipping songs?

    Hi all,
    I have a iPhone 4 and on some albums when i go to play the song it justs skips to the next song. But, if im quick and can drag the slider so it skips to like 3 seconds in, it will then play the song! It will also play the song if i leave the whole album running. It just wont play if i select the song... Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi all.
    Possible fix:
    Had this annoying issue, or similar. Songs on my iphone 4 would skip untilit found a song it could play, but often left up on the screen a different song to the one playing. It appeared songs hadnt been transferred or were missing causingthe phone to skip the songs.
    I heard that if you get a 'weird' beep noise this is the 'shake to shuffle' feature which can be turned off via Settings>Music.
    If you have a similar issue to mine, I read converting to AAC (right click song in Itunes and choose 'convert to AAC) could work, and did for me, but is time consuming and duplicates the song.
    What worked for me? Turning off 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC' on the Devices>Your Iphone main menu (device summary page). This reloads all songs to the iphone and appears to fix the issue. I have checked a few songs I knew had issues and they now work, and I can get through 10+ shuffle songs (thats as many as I checked) without a skip.
    Good luck. Let me know if it works.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping  songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

    restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

  • How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

    How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?

    After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?
    How exactly are you doing this?
    When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file.  Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
    You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

    why does this happen. In shuffle two/three songs play then skips songs and goes back to playlist

  • How can I fix order of numbered songs (compilation)?

    Hi there,
    How can I get a series of mp3 files to line up and play in numerical order on my ipod? They are in the correct order on iTunes on my computer. Further details:
    1) All 10 files have the same song name, followed by their respective numbers. For example:
    XX 01
    XX 02
    XX 03
    XX 04
    and so on up to XX 10
    2) On the Info tab, their respective track numbers are listed:
    Track 1 of 10
    Track 2 of 10
    and so on up to Track 10 of 10
    3) "Part of compilation" is ticked for all of them.
    The problem is that the list on my ipod starts with Track 3-10, and the tracks play in this order, one after the other, 3 through 10.
    Next on the ipod list come Tracks 1 and 2, and these two play in this order.
    I want them to be listed from Track 1 to Track 10 and to play one after the other in that order.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks! I'll follow your link.
    "I would have guessed at disc no. as being part of the problem as the iPod has always seemed to ignore the Album Artist field in my experience."
    The Album Artist field messed up the order of another compliation on my ipod too (just noticed this morning), so it is a factor.
    Originally, I had included the Album Artist with some songs in the compilation but not with others; the order appeared out of sequence, listing those that included an Album Artist first (and in sequential order for the relevant chapter numbers). When I deleted the Album Artist from them all, the order appeared in sequence for all chapters. I'll pay more attention to this in future.

  • How can I select more than one song from the search results?

    I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
    Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
    Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
    I hope some Windows user can help me out.

    Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
    I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

  • HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
    -hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
    -select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
    -after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
    -after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
    -double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
    PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
    double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
    hope this helps:)

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
